Is there a way in Qt to add a layout or widgets to a QMenu
to create a custom menu?
The example below (left) is what I have, and I'd like to aim for something similar to the mock-up on the right, by adding non-menu widgets. If it can't be done by QMenu
, are there guides to produce similar results (perhaps by having a more standard widget act as a context menu) anywhere?
Sure there is! In Qt, if there is a a will there is a way.
You will probably need to make your own class that uses QMenu
and uses a member QListWidget
.
You will then need to generate the layout and overload all the correct QLayout
functions for size recalculation.
And then you'll need to use this layout (think QHBoxLayout
) to display both a QMenu
and a QListWidget
side by side.
That should be enough to point you in the right direction.
EDIT:
As a commenter pointed out, you can't inherit two QObject
things so I updated the
answer accordingly.
To customize menu items you can use QWidgetAction
class. But you want to customize menu to look like popup widget. So you may subclass QMenu
and try to improve layout of menu for your needs (QMenu
is QWidget
). You questoin is not clear.
I wrote a script, you can try it.
but I am not subclass QMenu.
